However, there also is some writing software
which permits setting of the playback order.
• The sound quality of WMA files generally
becomes better with increasing bit rate. This
unit can play recordings with bit rates from 48
kbps to 192 kbps, but in order to be able to
enjoy a certain sound quality, it is
recommended to use discs recorded with a
higher bit rate.
Precautions
• When naming an WMA file, add the corre-
sponding filename extension (.wma).
• This product plays back files with the filename
extension (.wma) as an WMA file. To prevent
noise and malfunctions, do not use this exten-
sion for files other than WMA files.
Terms
Bit rate
This expresses data volume per second, or bps
units (bits per second). The higher the rate, the
more information is available to reproduce the
sound. Using the same encoding method (such
as MP3), the higher the rate, the better the
sound.
ID3 Tag
This is a method of embedding track-related
information in a MP3 file. This embedded infor-
mation can include the track title, the artist’s
name, the album title, the music genre, the year
of production, comments and other data. The
contents can be freely edited using software
with ID3 Tag editing functions. Although the
tags are restricted to the number of characters,
the information can be viewed when the track is
played back.
ISO9660 format
This is the international standard for the format
logic of CD-ROM folders and files. For the
ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the
following two levels.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con-
sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English
capital letters and half-byte numerals and the
“_” sign, with a file-extension of three charac-
ters.)
Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 characters
(including the separation mark “.” and a file
extension). Each folder contains less than 8
hierarchies.
